What It Means:

Henrik Lundqvist left Wednesday's playoff opener after the first period because of a suspected eye injury. New York doesn't practice on Thursday, but an update on his status may at some point today. Hellberg's recall could be an insurance move as Lundqvist is listed as day-to-day for the time being.

For the year, Lundqvist put up 35 wins, a 2.48 goals against average and .920 save percentage. New York lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins, 5-2, in Game 1.
